Lim,Zhuo Ren vs. Mirzoev,Azer - SixDays Budapest GM-A 11-2024 1/2-1/2

In the SixDays Budapest GM-A event on 2024.11.23, White player Lim Zhuo Ren made a move that followed a capture - capturing the black piece with Rxc8. This eliminated one of Black's attacking pieces. By doing so, it equalized material between the two sides. However, this move left the white rook without any defenders. It also missed an opportunity to threaten Black further. Moreover, Lim Zhuo Ren ignored the stronger threat chance that Black had, which could have led to more pressure on White. Unfortunately for Lim Zhuo Ren, he failed to seize the tempo advantage that would have put him in a winning position. Additionally, this move forced Mirzoev Azer to make a piece move, but it did not lead to any significant gain. Overall, Rxc8 was a move that developed the white rook for active play, although it may not have been the most effective choice given the circumstances.
